Customer Reviews

Great for Explaining the Move

This was one of the books that we read our three year old son in an effort to introduce the move. He happily helped pack his toys after we read this book a few times. He was also really excited when the moving truck arrived to take our things to the new apartment. We also read and enjoyed The Berenstain Bears' Moving Day.

Great book!

This book was very helpful for my 2 daughters (2 & 7). It gave them an idea of what to expect when we moved so it was not so frightening. It was very simple and easy to understand.

Helpful!

This book helped by 4 year old visualize the whole moving process. It was a little boring until we figured out that there is a yellow duck hiding on each page. That made my son want to read it. This booked helped him talk @ our upcoming move.

Wonderful pictures, simple story - great for preschoolers

We purchased this book to assist our son, who is almost 3, with our upcoming overseas move. While this book is not geared towards overseas moves, the pictures of the parents sorting their belongings, items going into a moving truck, and items being unloaded into a new home are wonderful. Our son has requested that we read this book many times -- it is in his "favorites" rotation.

easier transition

This book is great to make moving to a new house, school, or city easier. It isn't one that we read again and again but it did give a great opening for conversations of topics related to the move. It is one that I will share with friends when moving. But I've never found a Usborne book that wasn't super.
